Summary of our trip back home

It's our first weekend back in Singapore, and I am back with my girls! Our entire trip was great! The weather was perfect, and the weddings were beautiful! We had such a good time catching up with family and friends, my only regret is that we didn't have more time in each place (oh, and not remembering the camera in Houston until our last day! Oops!).

We started off our trip in Houston, Texas. Jamie had some work to do while he was there, but we still made time to shop, eat (of course!), and meet up with friends. If was great to see everyone, and hear about how everyone is doing.

From Houston, we flew to Florida to hang out with family. My sister, Crystal, also got married on Aug 8th. The wedding turned out beautiful, as did she! Here are a few photos from the wedding and the rest of our week in good ole Pensacola.

After a week of fun with the folks, we flew up to Connecticut for wedding of our friends Mike and Nicole. I know Jamie had a great time catching up with friends from college, and it was great to be there to share their special day! We had a great time!!

While we're sad to be away again we've got a lot going on here in the next few weeks. For those of you that haven't heard, Jamie and I will be moving to Perth, Australia next month. We are really excited, and can't wait to have all the moving stuff behind us. The dogs will have to go into quarantine again, but this time when they come out they'll have a house with a yard to come home to! We'll be changing the name of the blog soon to fit our new location.

Home Sweet Home

As you have probably guessed from seeing this new post we made it to Houston. The flight was miserable, as I was still sick, but for the most part the trip over went pretty well. My only real disappointment came in Tokyo. We had thought about leaving the airport (since we had an 8 hour layover) to see some sites, but since I was still sick we decided it would be best to stay in. We did however invest in a "day room" which I must say is the best invention ever!! A hotel-like room inside the airport, who would have guessed that would be a good idea??

Surprisingly, I was able to make it through all of the airports with Punkin's blood in tow. After picking up our car we took it downtown to be sent off for testing. We were informed the next day that her levels were completely normal!! Whoo Hoo!! I can't tell you what a relief that was, and how bad the rest of the trip would have been knowing that there was a problem and I was here without her. Luckily, that was not the case. One more prayer answered to add to our "for Punkin" list.

We've been able to catch up with lots of friends so far, but we've still got more people to see in Houston. Not too mention, the food has been AMAZING!! Oh, how I missed the food. On Friday we leave for Pensacola, where the family time begins!
